That's a fun theory, but the discs have so little to do with most gaming these days anyway I think you are just as likely to get hosed due to some licensing or account bullshit with a disc as you are without. Seems less and less games work just from the disc every year.
Yeah the real fix is probably gonna be the stop killing games movement, since it seems like the issue is more that publishers seem to have forgotten what a purchase is and less so the difference of physical vs digital.
